Always one to push the boundaries of fashion — whether in his role as creative director of Mugler, as stylist for Lady Gaga, or fashion director at Vogue Hommes Japan — for his own label Nicola Formichetti wants to take fashion into the digital age, incorporating technology in ways it’s never been used before.

Nicola Formichetti and Terry Richardson decided to double team a small army of boys for Vogue Hommes Japan‘s “Boys Town.” The result is an über stylish spread that brings to mind the heady male modeling days of the 1980s starring recent Humpday highlights Jordan and Zac Stenmark, Jesse Shannon, Rafael Perez, Arthur Gosse, Jamie Wise, Alexander Beck, Simon van Meerveene, Dae Na, Alex Michaels, Allen Taylor, German Ruiz, Hao Yun Xiang and fish-mouthed beauty Justin Halley. Seriously, I haven’t been so offended and/or inspired by a masculine face since Sebastian Sauvé slumped onto the scene. Anyhoo, take a ride into town with the boys of Vogue Hommes Japan.

While I’d love to believe that Nicola Formichetti exists solely to do Lady Gaga‘s fashion bidding, that simply isn’t the case. Jo Calderone might actually be the most reserved man Formichetti has styled to date. Boy is at werq in Japan turning out cover after editorial of monstrous male beauty for Vogue Hommes Japan. He’s also been killing it in Dazed & Confused and V Man. Take a look.

A striking, emaciated Asian hunching in a drop-crotch pant and opera glove. Daisuke Ueda covers Vogue Hommes Japan‘s “Eastern Promise” issue – out March 10th – shot by Steven Klein and styled by Nicola Formichetti — prompting me to ask, who else is excited for the Mugler show today?! If not, here’s a potential reason to get your shit together: Lady Gaga is not only the show’s musical director but is also making her runway debut as a model and previewing her new song, “Government Hooker.”

Nicola Formichetti was busy in 2010 keeping Gaga in meat gowns and machine gun bustiers. Along the way he even managed to style a few editorial spreads and ad campaigns. No doubt he was one of the driving creative forces for the past 12 months, but what were his favorite moments?

Nicola Formichetti brings his impeccable styling to Vogue Hommes Japan with a dark and brooding editorial that would not be out of place in Gaga’s “Alejandro” video.
Lensed by Mariano Vivanco, Christopher Landon looks especially dashing striking a pose in a voluminous cape, hat at a dramatic angle.
Check out the rest of the spread after the jump.

Yes, it’s been done before, but a raw meat bikini has never looked this good. Lady Gaga poses on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan wearing nothing but red lipstick and pieces of delicious steak. I love a sexy cover that will piss-off PETA!
